Final Pieces 1

This is a close up on my tortoise shell corset which I produced as a final piece from the title and starting point of 'shells'. It shows the individual patch work pieces I created to build the corset, each one I sewed individually using a straight stitch setting using varied thicknesses and threads. Some of the patches I decided to turn upside down as I thought the texture was more interesting such as the patch at the bottom. I used coloured threads that were based on the natural colours of a tortoise shell but some I used more to brighten up the piece and make it more vibrant.
